lieves In them as do many Catholic lay
men; and he has been pretty independent
in his course with respect to them.
Among the later reports is one that DR..
McGlynn has been transferred from his
parish to country charge, and no one
knows when he is going to Rome. When
he goes and gets back, perhaps it will be
known why he was sent thither.

The net reduction Of the national debt
for the closing month Of 1856 was nearly
ten millions of dollars, while the receipts
from customs, which, in December 1855,
were little over $4,000, 600, advanced 10
over $4,000 900. For the last six months
of 1856 these receipts were $l07, 49S coo, be
ing an increase of about $l2,0OOOOO over
the last half of 1885, aud showing the same
rate of increase throughout as for last
month, or II rate of S24 900, 600 year. At
this rate the surplus is not likely to dimin-
ish, without some help from Congress.
